Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland has been covered by scaffolding for two years now. It's getting embarrassing already. Come September, the ride should be closed down to reconfigure the vine sequence. Personally, I would change it by creating a false hill underneath the track during the vine part, just like in this concept art.

Rock work could come up to the track to create a garden environment. I personally thing there is no way to keep the vine as is while maintaining the aesthetic integrity.

Ugh, I hate all those tarps and ugly "safety" rails. It's been too long.

I really like that concept art, though. If they actually did something like that, it would look better than I could have imagined. But we'll probably just get more "themed" safety railing (or perhaps even a cage) that looks like vines.

Nothing is actually wrong with the ride OSHA saftey regulations threatened to shut the ride down because the vine section could not be safely evacuated so this was Disney's quick fix that has lasted way to long!

OSHA didn't threaten to shut down the ride, Disney took action voluntarily, knowing the outside section was a worker safety hazard and in violation of California worker safety regulations. See the numerous threads from the last two years that detail how the situation came about and why Disney is taking so long to fix it.

I actuallllly like that idea! if they could do a trelles cage of vines, it would kinda work with the nonsensical theme... GP is happy, fans are somewhat happy, and the Disney lawyers are bouncing off the walls!
